Warren Gatland Resigns as Wales Head Coach Following Six Nations Struggles

The former British & Irish Lions coach steps down after a string of defeats and mounting criticism from ex-players and media.

Warren Gatland resigned as Wales head coach on Monday night after a 14-match losing streak, including a recent loss to Italy in the Six Nations.
The decision followed growing criticism from former players and media, which Gatland described as overwhelming and detrimental to his team's morale.
Gatland, who led Wales to multiple Grand Slam victories in his first tenure, struggled to rebuild the team amid a declining talent pool in Welsh rugby regions.
The resignation was finalized after a conversation with Welsh Rugby Union CEO Abi Tierney, with Gatland prioritizing the team's well-being over his role.
The announcement leaves Wales in a transitional phase as they prepare for the remainder of the Six Nations under interim leadership.
